Suggestions Printing LexJet on Mimaki JV300-160

We've been printing wallpaper for a fairly large company for a few years now with no issue. We recently purchased a new printer (Mimaki JV300-160) which works great but the heavily saturated LexJet prints are getting faded striping which seems to only occur when the material is on the take-up reel. The client described it as banding but its not consistent enough and I feel like the issue is coming from the hard edges on the platen (which the striping seems to mimic) and the high tension of the take up reel. I talked to LexJet and our heat settings seem to be in line with what they run. If anyone has a suggestion that helps us avoid running these large (106") panels onto the floor that would be great. Is it worth looking into a tension bar attachment (does anyone run one with this machine?). Strange question and no photos (yet) but any brain storming would help.

It's possible that the print feed calibration is being affected by the take up reel. Try loading the media and attach it to the take up reel and then run your print feed calibration.
